You Can't Hurry Love

I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But Mama saidYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and takeYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takesBut how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again?
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah, is almost gone
I remember Mama saidYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and takeHow long must I wait?
How much more can I take?
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?No, I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember Mama saidYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and takeYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takesNo, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tightI keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy
But Mama saidYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takesYou can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
